And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:

And David went up, and all Israel, to Ba'alah, that is, to Kir'jathje'arim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubim, Ex. 25.22 whose name is called on it.
